James Glutting

Meet the Founder:

With nearly 20 years of experience in Christian mentorship and discipleship and over 10 years of leading and teaching small groups, James has impacted countless lives through Christian guidance grounded in biblical truth.

The hope, healing, comfort, and encouragement he found in God during those challenging years now serve as a source of inspiration for countless others facing their own trials.

Despite the adversity, James emerged from that season of life with a deepened understanding of who God is. 


A defining moment in his spiritual journey occurred during a corporate 21 day fast with his church in 2007 where God revealed his calling: to teach people the spiritual side of success–

That prospering outwardly is not the same as prospering inwardly…and that God’s definition of success means living faithfully.

That same year, God posed a difficult question to James: "Can I withdraw my hand of blessing on your life, and you still trust me?" 

What followed was a 7-year period of profound hardship marked by financial struggles, bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession, and unexplainable illness. 

James and his family went from having a life of abundant prosperity to selling furniture (and even his wife's wedding ring) to put food on the table. 



While James's early years were rooted in the church, it wasn't until the age of 23 that he wholeheartedly committed to Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
